Clunk and the rattle are most likely an interconnected symptoms of something wrong with the steering rack assembly. (Expensive part to replace).
And yes, it will get worse as you pile up milage.
And yes, if you're sending a formal letter of complaint to your dealership, don't forget to c.c the Honda H/O.
It will save you writing another letter later.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Nahh i dont think they are connected the rattle is in the steering wheel basically. So right up front, possibly a loose part of the airbag assembly, im just hoping it doesnt go off :eek:

this clunk thing for me has been around since 0kms and by low speed i mean parking at under 5kms or turning wheel when stationary. It almost sounded like the chassis/undercarriage shifting on bushes or something so i never really bothered about it though the above explanation does make sense.

How does the Type S compare to the DC5R in the way of performance??? I know it has a few extra KW, but its also heavier...

It's about the same in the straight line. But in the corners, DC5R is quicker. Check out the Motor magazine comparo between DC2R, DC5R and DC5S.

More than half of this thread is pointless... More on topic, DC5R and DC5S offer very similar straight line performance with handling in favour of the R. Personally i think to many people gave up on the DC5S before it even had a chance. Having owned several honda's including a Type R, the Type S is a very capable sports car.
Just my 2 cents!

I reckon the The DC5S looks better than the DC5R. The S has better headlights. Plus i saw the DC5S in a mugen bodykit with mugen 18inch rims and i fell in love with it. Plus you can always do up the handling and performance. I'll try and find some pics of the DC5S i was talking about.

Quick question guys!

Whats the offset on the Type S ??

Cheers :)

offset is +45

cheers mate :)

retail price of the typeS is total ripped-off! im a fan of honda but the price really pissed me off. the rex will be my choice, no doubt about it.

Why? WRX has a rubbish interior.

Awesome performance however.
